Century modified Dr. Henry Dakin's original formula, making it stable for 12+ months.

The term "Full Strength" refers to the highest concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite tolerable to the skin, which is 0.50%. As a result, a solution containing Sodium Hypochlorite 0.50% is known in the industry as "Full Strength". Likewise, "Half Strength" contains Sodium Hypochlorite 0.25%, and "Quarter Strength" contains 0.125%.

Diluted Dakin's Solution (Di-Dak-Sol) contains 0.0125% Sodium Hypochlorite; ONE-TENTH the concentration of Quarter Strength.

The company was founded in 1966, in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
